A House committee on Tuesday approved a bill that would double the campaign contribution limits for state elected  officials and allow donors of so-called "issue ads" remain anonymous.

The Republican-controlled House Election Committee voted mostly along party lines, with GOP Rep. Mike [no balls] Callton of Nashville abstaining.

The legislation also lifts a ban on House and Senate political committees from spending money in primaries defending incumbents.

Senate Majority Floor Leader Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, is sponsoring the legislation.

Gov. Rick Snyder, who campaigned in 2010 in favor of donor disclosure of issue ads, has not said whether he will sign the bill.

As far as I see it, Ruth Johnson is the only one in a elected post worth voting for in '14.
